W250: Compact photoelectricswitch series for a broad rangeof applications
The W250 family of photoelectric
switches features a special com-
bination which integrates both the
DC and DC/AC version in a very
compact housing.
The cable version or the rotatable
plug version gives the W250
flexibility for system integration.
During adjustments to sensitivity
and scanning distance, the user
is supported by an easily readable
positioning display.
Light-/dark-switching via control
cable halves the number of device
options and reduces stockholding.
Overview of W250:
■ Universal supply voltage
(DC or DC/AC) in a compact
housing simplifies integration
into machines,
■ Visible light beam aids adjust-
ment,
■ light-/dark-switching reduces
stockholding cost by reducing
the number of variant required,
■ supplied complete and ready
for use, as mounting brackets
and reflector (WL250 only) are
included in the supply.
Principal areas of application:
■ Mechanical engineering,
■ Timber industry,
■ Storage and materials handling,
■ Bottling systems,
■ Door/gate access control.
